When to compare this item
These leather shoulders list two resistance each to Fire, Frost, Shadow, Nature and Arcane. Consider them when evaluating a known damage-school problem rather than assuming that a spread of resistances is universally stronger than primary stats.
What you give up
The record contains no broad resistance percentage or encounter-specific survival result. Replacing primary stats for these shoulders needs a reason tied to the content you are entering.
Check before you commit
Identify the damage school in your combat log first. Then compare armor and lost stats with the shoulders already equipped; do not infer a required resistance target.
Acquisition evidence
Each association has its own label. An observed source is a historical player report through the provider; an inherited Classic source is a lead to investigate. No current drop rates or guaranteed routes are implied.
